WHEREAS WBO Champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez and Juan Carlos Burgos, the WBO #1 contender and mandatory challenger in the WBO Junior Lightweight Division contested that WBO championship in Madison Square Garden in New York, New York on January 19th, 2013; and

The diiference is the WBC has plenty of options. One Mexican losses a belt and another Mexican is ready to fight for it. It's hard for the WBO when PR only has one champion and not a very good one.

or the wbc strips a legit champion in martinez and hands over the belt to chavez.
or the wbc sets up a fight between canelo and hatton, who is ranked #7 at 147 and not ranked anywhere at 154 to fight for a vacant wbc title. Yea, it really compares.

Nah, that fight wasn't no draw. 116-112 was a legit score for that fight.

But since he is supposed to be fighting Magdaleno next, i really don't care about the burgos fight anymore.
